Percutaneous Thermal Ablation for Solid Tumors
Treatment Solution
The Baird Medical Microwave Ablation System is a minimally invasive thermal ablation technology designed for the treatment of solid tumors. It uses microwave energy to generate high intratumoral temperatures, resulting in rapid and effective tissue necrosis.
MWA offers precise, predictable ablation zones and is widely used by interventional radiologists for percutaneous tumor treatment.
What is Lung Tumors?
Lung tumors are abnormal growths that develop within the lung and may occur as primary lesions or as metastatic disease spread from other parts of the body. They can vary in size, location, and clinical behaviour, and are often evaluated through imaging studies such as CT and PET-CT to guide diagnosis and treatment planning. Careful assessment is important in determining the most appropriate management approach, particularly in selected cases where a precise and minimally invasive treatment strategy may be considered.
How Microwave Ablation System Treats Lung Tumors
Under CT guidance, microwave energy is delivered percutaneously to destroy lung tumor tissue.
